‘with care and attention to everyone taking part – giving time to
everyone’s ideas and thoughts’
All participants were satisfied with the time of day for the course, venue
and catering:
‘The time suited me because I work all week and like my weekends to be
free. Maybe finishing at 7.45/8.00 would be better to get time with the
kids when you get home - give you a chance to put stuff into practice...’
All participants reported that they would recommend the course to
others, two said ‘definitely’.
When asked what was the most important thing they had learned from
the course, there was a range of different answers, including:
‘To listen and compliment each other. Realise we are all different. Taking
a step back and letting them [the children] make choices.’
‘Understanding and recognition that it is not necessarily my children that
are in the wrong.’
When asked for more comments, a range of positive responses were
made, including:
‘Very good. Please do more courses’
‘I think this course has made me appreciate my children's uniqueness.’
‘Thank you so much for the opportunity to do this course. It has been a
wonderful experience that I would love to continue. Benefited me hugely.’
There were also a couple of suggestions for improvement:
‘Could have been better publicised beforehand. Very beneficial.’
‘I think the course would have been better if I had attended it with my
wife - there are obvious issues of childcare - so maybe a whole day (Sat
or something) might be good or crèche facilities for two parents without
support.’
